I tried to draw a deer... Is it just me, or, is he kinda derpy?

"Maybe they’ll love me more if I posted a shirtless picture," thought everyone, at some point.

The Ever-Faithful Robot

I love robots.

Like, I really love them; more than people, often.

They’re amongst my list of favourite things, along with dragons, lasers, dinosaurs, Christmas lights, and, peppermint.

Honestly, I want a Roomba JUST for it to be my cute little friend (because, honestly, I hear they’re not the greatest at actually vacuuming yet, but, I hear they’re developing new ones!)

Lucky for us, there have been some amazing robots is recent development and media, the most recent being the awesome robots in Interstellar, and, the adorable Baymax, of Big Hero 6.

Most robots are in at least one, if not more, of the following categories:

A) Adorable Robots

B) Past-Meets-Future Robots

C) Murderous Robots

The amazing thing about the robots in Intersteller is that they really challenged the usual robotic archetypes. They were fun, unique, smart, and refreshing.

However, we love our classically cute robots because we find their quirky personalities, and their flaws, endearing, and, we love the past-meets-future robots because it gives an intriguing contrast of time, and it gives us a sense of belonging and understanding in such an unknown period, the future. Also, it’s just funny to see what horrible technology people used to find futuristic. Despite how much I love blinking lights, why anyone thought literally walls of unlabelled blinking lights was the way of the future, I’ll never understand. Both categories give us a much needed break in tension, and often comedic relief. Space is a cold, brutal place, which usually breaks our hearts. So, we count on our dependable robots to get us through the dark times… Literally….

Whereas we love the quirky, childish tendencies of most robots, that appeal to our humanity, we ironically love the silent, oozing horror of the lack of humanity in murderous robots. They can’t be reasoned with, bargained with, bribed, starved, poisoned, and can survive without oxygen, a helpful quality for space, if they’re in space, which they often are. The thing about murderous robots is they’re such scarier in lesser numbers. Like with Alien, Terminator was horrifying because there was a SINGLE nearly invincible robot trying to hunt you. The war concept for Terminator was an interesting passing detail, but, the trailer for the newest Terminator movie, which inspired this post, made me realise why I lost interest in the series. It’s just a depressing war series now. I feel like the mystery and horror is gone. Jaws, Alien, Predator, Terminator, The Most Dangerous Game, and countless other horrifying stories leaned heavily on the idea that a single entity, or a small group, desires to hunt and destroy you, and has the overwhelming ability to. This style leans heavily on music, lighting, cinematography, directing, and more on what isn’t seen and what isn’t known, than what is. I feel this style is more interesting.

All in all, though, I love robots.

Especially Baymax. He’s friggin adorable. Definitely in the running for one of the cutest robots of all time.

Whether it’s the glimpses of humanity we look for in robots, or the lack thereof, robots are only going to become more and more of reality. They’re already changing the job market. What happens when most jobs are done by robots? Like it or not, they’re here to stay; don’t piss them off.

I think, in tribute to my love of robots, I'm gonna sketch some robots in the next week. =] maybe I'll scatter some new Snarky Fox single panels in there, as well =]

I don't EVER reblog, but, this is essentially the story of my life... So, there it is... Haha

Sometimes all I wanna do is make out and cuddle. Someone come over plz
